Beautiful!

I was sleeved on July 15th. Doing great but missing coffee! Has anyone had decaf so soon after surgery? My dr doesn't really recommend it. I follow everything my dr says to do but I am pretty desperate!

The hardest thing that I've ever done. And the bravest! Also the most effective. People who criticize are uninformed and probably can't walk a mile in our shoes! That's it in a nutshell!

Elayna01 replied to Elayna01's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks! Its tough when I wake up in the morning. That's when I really want it... After I eat breakfast I dont crave it as much. I only put milk in my coffee but would have to adjust to fat free milk. I might give it a try. Even if it takes long to drink. ..just a few sips would bring me joy!!! Lol! Funny how that's what I'm missing the most -
Concerns about how much I'm supposed to eat
Elayna01 replied to LucySanz's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been eating nonfat plain greek yogurt and adding sugar free preserves and splenda. Just found Fage greek yogurt has 23 grams of protein in 1 cup. Can usually just get half a cup in -

Thanks! I know caffeine also stimulates hunger so I'm ok with decaf. -
Anyone start with a 35 BMI?
Elayna01 replied to JenSul's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started with a weight of 207.8. That was the day I started 2 week preop liquid diet. Surgery was 7/15. This morning my weight was 183.8. Lost 24 lbs. Nice to see others around the same as me. -
My surgery has been scheduled for july 15th. I started liquid today. Not feeling so great. ..headache. Hope these next 2 weeks go by fast and easy. Amy suggestions?

True! Just getting nervous I guess!

Just realized something. My bmi is 35.2 and I have type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. My surgery has been approved by insurance and I am scheduled for July 15th. On preop liquid diet and lost 5 lbs in 2 days. WHAT IF MY BMI GOES BELOW THE REQUIREMENT FOR SURGERY?
-
Thanks! Just read about it. I will check sugar later on to see if it's still elevated. I think my body is in shock! Not used to this for sure!
-
So this is Day 3 of preop liquid diet. I checked my blood sugar this morning. Very surprised that it was 148. Why so high? Taking meds and less than 6grams of sugar in each meal replacement drink. 2 drinks per meal. Any thoughts?
-
Thanks! Glad the 1st day is almost over!
